My personal thoughts on this are: keep him inside and he gets to live, or put him outside and he dies almost immediately. They like to be 70°F-85°F as far as I’m aware (feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken!).If you’d like to share a photo of the enclosure, I’d be happy to provide any tips or suggestions I can think of! I’d advise to avoid crickets as they carry diseases that could cause death to your mantis. Roaches, grasshoppers, and blue bottle flies are (from what I know!) the safest options.</blockquote>
